The PIPES Act of 2016 promises that regulators will be more dynamic and data-driven. The law authorizes regulatory certainty for citizens, the safety community, and the industry. But in the current political environment, what does that really mean for the regulated community?

Operators and safety personnel must stay abreast of rapid changes in safety and security regulations. Join this webinar with expert speaker Tamar J. Cerafici, where you will get to explore the regulatory underpinnings of the country’s oil and gas transportation network. You’ll finish with a broad understanding of the regulations, but more importantly you’ll understand how the location and maintenance of this important infrastructure segment affects your bottom line. Tamar will also provide an in-depth analysis of the new legislation, current enforcement strategies, and tools for implementing security, maintenance, and training requirements in your project.
